Dev Patel might have lost the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor but has won the internet by a mile after he appeared on the Red Carpet hand-in-hand with his mother.

While he looked dapper in a cream blazer and a black bow tie, his mother Anita stunned in her black-and-gold traditional sari.

People are rightfully in love with the smashing duo.
